“My fiance is like the full moon in a dark night. But you? You're less than a glow-worm.”

Princes Linglong had the utmost admiration for Chu Kuangren.

Meanwhile, she fully despised a person like Shang Han. This was her sincere remark which also served to shake Shang Han's Daoist Core and put him off his stride.

Indeed.

Upon hearing Princess Linglong's remark, Shang Han's face sank. A surge of Daoist Rhymes immediately erupted from his body and turned into a gush of wind that sent the floor tiles below him flying in all directions.

It was at that moment when Princess Linglong made her move.

While Shang Han's Daoist Core was shaken, she took the chance to strike forward with her Full Moon Blade and unleashed a silver-white blade ray that resembled a bright moonlight.

The blade ray was unstoppable as it contained an enormous amount of Daoist Rhymes.

Shang Han let out a light grunt but did not use his weapon. Instead, he lifted his hand to gather the spiritual powers and Daoist Rhymes before packing it into a fist and hurled into the air.

The surges of energy collided with each other and sent a huge wave of ripple into the void. Just like that, Shang Han was sent flying several feet backward, and he looked a little shocked.

“I didn't expect you to have such capabilities.”

Before this, Shang Han did not take Princess Linglong seriously at all. To him, Princess Linglong merely acquired the Primordial Emperor's Essence with good luck and a.s.sumed that Princess Linglong's capabilities were nowhere near his.

However, this exchange made him realize that Princess Linglong's abilities were no longer inferior to his.

Upon getting the upper edge on Shang Han, Princess Linglong did not hold back at all. She waved her Full Moon Blade in sequences, sending waves after waves of silver-white blade rays towards Shang Han which lit the entire night sky.

Shang Han let out a cold grunt. “Looks like I've underestimated you.”

Then, he flipped both of his palms around and an outrageous amount of Daoist Rhymes suddenly erupted, gus.h.i.+ng out like a violent typhoon.

“G.o.dly Palm of the Fallen Mountain!”

Once he attacked with a palm technique, the distinct Daoist Rhymes collided in the void before they sent violent ripples into the air that shocked all the palace guards.

They would stand no chance at all in defending against such strength.

“Is this the true power of a Young Emperor?”

“How powerful. I don't think it's weaker than Supreme Honourables.”

“Who would've thought that Princess Linglong possessed such strengths?”

Gu Changge said in surprise.

Princess Linglong had maintained a low profile for the past few years and had rarely engaged in fights, hence he did not think that her abilities had grown to be so powerful.

Even Gu Changge felt that his abilities were now falling behind.

“It is indeed rare.”

The Royal Azure Dynasty Ruler let out a gratified smile.

Princess Linglong, who could not even decide for her marriage a few years back, had now grown into such an independent person.

“It's indeed surprising that you possess such abilities. Alas, it's too bad that you're destined to fall in my hands today!”

Shang Han let out a battle roar before his Daoist Rhymes grew multifold!

The palm attack transformed into a boundless typhoon that ripped through all the blade rays, and that energy itself sent Princess Linglong retreating a few steps.

Then, Princess Linglong immediately retrieved an item.

It was a black skull!

As she hurled the black skull outwards, it expanded into an enormous skull shadow that was fuming with death qi and the Daoist Rhymes of a Sage.

“This is made from a Sage's bones.”

Shang Han said in shock.

“That's right. Witness for yourself the power of this black skull.”

Princess Linglong said firmly and urged the black skull to tear Shang Han apart. Everywhere the black skull trailed, a terrifying storm followed.

The black skull was an item that Princess Linglong had obtained from the Luminous Moon Secret Realm. She had forged it out of the brain matter of the dead Black Light Sage.

The black skull was boiling with an unsettling amount of death qi. Not daring to underestimate the attack, Shang Han was forced to use his hidden card.

Shang Han came before the halberd and gripped the handle tightly. In an instant, a surge of destructive Daoist Rhymes was released from the halberd.

“Soaring Waterfall Technique!”

Shang Han roared.

A wave of boundless destructive energy exploded!

The halberd released a dark ray that landed on the black skull and instantly penetrated the surface.

The skull's Sage Daoist Rhyme shattered as it fell onto the ground.

Seeing Shang Han's counterattack, Princess Linglong's face paled.

She looked at the halberd Shang Han was wielding and said in disbelief, “Just what exactly is that weapon? How could it easily shatter the Sage's skull?”

After all, a Sage's body had always been perceived to be indestructible. Any cultivators who were below the Sage level would face tremendous difficulty in damaging it.

It may just be the Black Light Sage's brain, but it took Princess Linglong almost a year to refine it into this black skull.

“Princess Linglong, you should feel honored. You shall become the first person ever to be defeated by the Heaven's Halberd upon its reappearance.”

Shang Han gripped tightly onto the halberd in a domineering posture. Since the terrifying Daoist Rhymes from the Heaven's Halberd had merged with his, it had increased his abilities by more than tenfold, and this made the crowd horrified.

Even the Royal Azure Dynasty Ruler was beginning to look worried.

“What kind of halberd is that?”

“Even a Sage Ruler Weapon wouldn't be capable of enhancing a cultivator's combat strength to such a level. That's… a Boundary Emperor Weapon!”

The Royal Azure Dynasty Ruler said in shock.

Boundary Emperor Weapons were some of the rarest artifacts to ever exist. No Boundary Emperor Weapon could be found even in the entire Royal Azure Dynasty!

“No wonder you're so c.o.c.ky in your ability to defeat my fiance. Looks like you've found yourself this halberd.” Princess Linglong finally understood the bigger picture.

“Even Chu Kuangren will face defeat under the power of the Heaven's Halberd! Princess Linglong, just sit back and watch as I squander Chu Kuangren under my feet!” Shang Han laughed out loud.

The Boundary Emperor Weapon had surely improved his confidence.

“I've said it before. My fiance is like the full moon in the dark night, and you're no more than a glow-worm. Do you actually think you can defeat my fiance just because you have a Boundary Emperor Weapon? My stance remains the same. You're tooting your own horn too much!”

“Princess Linglong, offending me brings no benefit to you!”

Shang Han warned sternly.

“Heh, I'm just speaking the truth.”

“Then you shall face death!”

Shang Han was envious of Chu Kuangren at how Princess Linglong was still defending her fiance at this moment. With rage burning in his heart, he gripped onto the Heaven's Halberd and struck it towards Princess Linglong to express his unhappiness.

A storm of Daoist Rhymes exploded and sent Princess Linglong flying several hundred feet backward as she no longer had the abilities to defend against such strengths. She spat a mouthful of fresh blood before her entire face paled and her aura weakened.

“Enough!” The Royal Azure Dynasty Ruler screamed. “Let this battle end here. We concede.”

Shang Han remained in his place. With the Heaven's Halberd still in his hand, he looked at Princess Linglong and said indifferently, “The Princess has yet to concede. The battle still isn't over.”

The Royal Azure Dynasty Ruler looked at Princess Linglong, only to hear her utter, “I'm not a sore loser, but I will never concede defeat to a person like you!”

Since she was Chu Kuangren's partner, Princess Linglong would never concede defeat to a person who insulted Chu Kuangren!

“My Princess, please don't let emotions cloud your mind.”

The Royal Azure Dynasty Ruler hastily attempted to persuade Princess Linglong.

However, Princess Linglong was still relentless.

“Very well, very well! I'd love to see just how much your body can take!” Shang Han burst out into manic laughter and was prepared to unleash another strike.

“You piece of trash. Touch her and I'll bury your entire clan with you!”

At that moment, a cold and stern voice echoed from above.

The crowd peered upwards to see two people descending from the sky.

One of them was dressed in a white robe and had a delicate ancient sword strapped to his waist. He looked as if he was gliding on moonlight when he landed and his elegance captured everyone's attention.
